After 1895, the Azores and Madeira obtained their own level of administrative autonomy that was established in the Portuguese Constitution.[2] In this form the islands began to function as autonomous districts, similar to the district Juntas Gerais, which continued until 1974. But, in practice, these communities were abandoned administratively, and had no means to improve development, resulting in immigration.[2] Following the Carnation Revolution, from April 1974 until August 1975, the Azores continued as autonomous districts, until the Junta Governativa dos A\u00e7ores was constituted under President General Altino de Magalh\u00e3es and six other councilmen:[2]Dr. Henrique Aguiar Rodrigues (PPD), to handle Assuntos Sociais, Trabalho e Emigra\u00e7\u00e3o (Social Issues, Work and Immigration);Dr. Jos\u00e9 Adriano Borges de Carvalho, (later substituted by Dr. \u00c1lvaro Monjardino) (PPD), as the coordinator of the Coordena\u00e7\u00e3o Econ\u00f3mica e Finan\u00e7as (Economic Coordination and Finances);Jos\u00e9 Pacheco de  Almeida (PPD), to run Transportes, Com\u00e9rcio, Comunica\u00e7\u00f5es e Turismo (Transport, Commerce, Communication and Tourism);Eng.
